he's driven washington out. so, it looks like new york, or at least this part of new york, is now out of the game. now, general howell is proceeding to roll out new jersey. >> now, just a quick question. what were their troops, the differences between how many troops and how well off they were? >> right, right. well, during the battles of new york, washington has 19,000 troops, most of them are militia. most of them have never fought before. the british have 32,000. british and also heshams described as mercenaries which isn't quite right. these were mercenaries who served their princes. they were small german principals. they would contract to have their armies fight in wars of other countries. if you were a hesham soldier, you signed up, you fought in the battles your prince, your sovereign, arranged for you to fight. over the course of the war, the british paid 7,000 pounds for the service of these soldiers. i did the math and it was like 2 $360 million. now, the federal government loses $360 million in the c

listen to washington's words. the alternate domestic nation of one faction over another sharpened by the spirit of revenge is itself a frightf fuf despotism, and opens the door to corruption which finds a facilitated access through the channels of party passions. thus the policy and the will of one country subjected to the policy and will of another. no action of washington's did more to avert dictatorship than the voluntarily retirement at the end of two terms. the poet robert frost said he was one of the few in the history. world not carried away by power. the man who could have been king insisted ultimate sovereignty lay with the people, however imperfect their judgment. the 1796 campaign to succeed washington did little to encourage the friends of democracy. long before the first negative commercial hit the nation's airwaves thomas jefferson was branded a coward and infidel, whose election warned one connecticut newspaper would guarantee that quote, murder, robbery and rape and adultery and insist will be open

washington had about 2400 men, 18 cannons, 100 horses. washington was hoping to have everybody across by midnight. it wasn't until about 4:00 the next morning on december 26, the army was across and ready to march to trenton. the prelude to our story is the new york campaign in the summer and fall of 1776. the british landed an army on staten island shortly after the declaration of independence. there were a series of battles defeats for general washington, , beginning with the battle of long island, followed by harlem heights, white plains, the capture in new york as well, and the defeats at fort washington and fort lee. really, fort lee was an abandoning of the fort and important supplies. and that began in late the november, retreat through new jersey. washington fell back through new jersey. because of the defeats, morale was sinking fast. he was counting on the new jersey militia as well as the pennsylvania militia to come forward and strengthen his army. they were not turning out in any significant numbers. he had to continue retrea

washington's staff is very loyal. most people who serve with washington directly are very impressed. you can watch the entire program this monday at 8:00 eastern on american history tv only on c-span3. the conservative political action conference has been held every year since 1974, when california governor ronald reagan delivered the first keynote up next on "reel america," from 30 years ago, president reagan speaks about the state of the conservative movement. in february, 1988, he contrasts what he sees as conservative accomplishments with what he argues are the ineffective liberal ideas of the democratic party. this is 30 minutes. [applause] pres. reagan: thank you. thank you all, thank you very much. thank you. [cheering and applause]

washington nationals. that summer, the senators were ahead in the american league at the the time, but same time, the yankees were trying to creep in and take the lead in the american league. you see washington driving a car with a yankee coming in and i like the front seat and washington saying i am not through with the driving yet. and that year, a rarity for sports fans, the senators went on to win the world series over new york giant. this next cartoon, when he was trying this, he was thinking about federal workers in particular. every year when congress goes to do appropriations, they decide if they are going to give a cost of living adjustment to government workers. he shows the government worker trying to steer through increased rent, increased cost of clothing, increased cost of fixed salaryhas a scale from 50 years ago. perhaps his favorite topic was washington weather. to draw washington weather. we love to talk about washington weather. we are talking about it now. this cartoon was drawn on marc

and washington post - who heads amazon and now owns the washington post and is making it into a great newspaper, let me just say that. - fully agree. - we can talk about that later. but he said, "even in a competitive business, like journalism," which there's nothing more competitive, he said, "we need to spend less time "worrying about our competitors "and more time worrying about our customers." and that really went home to me. i think a lot of what we're seeing right now in our culture are, a lot of organizations, other than news organizations, they're worrying about, "how can i cut prices so i can sell it "for a lower price than my competitor?" when they should be thinking about, "what does our customer want?" "what does our customer need?" - focus on the product and not the price. - and i think that's a good lesson for all of us. - so, the first change i mentioned, i think the second change, related but separate, is that the default setting used to be, as recently as 10 years ago, that people trusted the media. and now the default setting is that people don't. when we wake up in

are conflicting reactions coming out of washington so if you read very carefully the washington post article in which with quoted on there is return flight from what do you actually said was that being nuclearization have to be and if so if. you have to take additional steps to be nuclear efficient the u.s. is open to talks preliminary talks during which of course you were layout of and the actual negotiator great great no greater than the moment all right but go ahead go ahead go ahead. the precondition for negotiations is for north korea to suspend. otherwise give the united states what it wants. and even to begin ok well that's just great bryan i mean the north koreans saw what happened to libya they saw what happened in iraq and why in the end a lot of people have speculated that's why they have gone down the nucular road ok i mean why in the world with the north koreans give up this program and expose themselves when they're being threatened with blood. he knows you know seven ways to sunday i mean the the it's absurd what's coming out of washington and if they haven't thought i

treaties and washington's commission, washington's resignation document. obviously, most importantly, the declaration of independence. he took these documents, and he concluded that because the british believed a foundry close by would be too handy in providing munitions, he had the documents taken to leesburg, virginia where they could be stored in a secure place. he went to bed exhausted. that night, all the citizens of washington saw the city in flames. he recalled in exchange he had when taking the documents out of the state department into safekeeping. he ran into the secretary of war at the time who saw what he was doing and asked him why he was doing it. he felt he was being extremely alarmist. that washington was not going to be invaded by the british. he said that he felt it was a point of prudence to do it, and he carried on. if he had not secured those documents, today you would not be able to go to the national archive and see the declaration of independence or the constitution of the united states in its original form. all those other precious

most agencies in washington are constrained right now by this law from 1946. the updates that up and made have been fairly modest. they fixed the failure to look closely at how small businesses are impacted by proposed rules and things like that. what i am talking about is more fundamental. every agency that interfaces with the public and creates what is democratizing, the opportunity for the public to file something just by virtual -- to spare virtue of having a broadband connection. we need to make sure there is fraud prevention that we think about from the get-go. i'm open to any and always to come up with a good way to do that. >> i am jane smith paterson. speaking of networks, is it possible for you and the fcc to think about additional funding for health care connect being as though we are at a cap right now? getting to them with health care is going to be the way they get care. com. rosenworcel: you're absolutely right about that. there was a time when telemedicine was reserved for our most rural areas where it was hard to get doctors and specialists to

here we are with george washington. george washington, the first president of the united states. one of our founding fathers. and what we have for george washington is a copy from his library of a book called "an essay on human understanding" by john locke. that book was one of the ones used by the founding fathers. the ideas in that book from john locke are what, you know, go into the declaration of independence. so george washington's copy is from 1775. inside of both front covers of it is his personal bookplate and then on the title page of each one, he actually signed his name into it. which is apparently not common for him to have both of his bookplate and his signature. but what also makes these books unique is that these were owned by herbert hoover. herbert hoover purchased these at a bookstore in new york city about -- i'm not exactly sure what year. we haven't been able to figure that out. but about two blocks from where he lived in the waldorf towers is where that bookstore was located, but -- so the books were part of his -- washington's private library. they were sol

lynn: he is about as illinois as it gets in washington. he is an example of a politician you ared dick durbin, fluent in illinois and he can talk national or globally but you always have one foot back home. look at the ray lahood career. top staffer for bob michael, takes his seat, rises in the house, goes to be the transportation secretary under barack obama. when you talk about moderate republicans, that is the mold of ray lahood. he forged a relationship with rahm emanuel, they got things done, i think they also liked each other. that helps a lot in the political climate when you have differences and not like each other, which is how we are now, it is harder. he became a member of the obama cabinet. to this day, he is one of the leaders. when he was in office and out of of the movements for bipartisanship, which i think at the moment as a way to go. he was marvelous. it was not contrived at all, just get along with everybody. he was the kind of moderation i was referring to. more sensible. neither of the states two senators came up? lyn

are conflicting reactions coming out of washington so if you read very carefully where you are a washington post article in which penned fourth quarter down there in return flight from what do you actually fed was with that being nuclearization have to be and then there's so. because of taken this whole step could be nuclear if they think the u.s. is open to talks preliminary talks during which of course you were lay out of them and actually negotiate you know greg no greater than the one moment but go ahead go ahead go ahead mark just one more the precondition for negotiations is for north korea to suspend fully with other words give the united states what it wants. and you can begin ok well that's just great bryan i mean the north koreans saw what happened to libya they saw what happened in iraq and why in the in a lot of people have speculated that's why they have gone down the nucular road ok i mean why in the world would the north koreans give up this program and expose themselves when they're being threatened with a bloody nose you know seven ways to sunday it's absurd what's coming o

and it shows you that washington can function. we need more christians in washington. we need more -- can you imagine if the majority of the house and senate were god-fearing men and women? that they could argue their points, but at the end of the day, they would come together and work for the good of all american people. we need men and women in washington who believe in god, who believe in his son, jesus christ, who took our sin and mexicans to the cross and got raised, we need more men and women like this. last year, i went across this country to every state capital asking people to pray for this country and encouraging christians to run. and i didn't tell them what party to run for. they can be republicans. but we need christians at every level of government, and when christians come together, this is what you see at the prayer breakfast. they come together and they work together. i was glad to be there. >> laura: at one point the president talked about how a year earlier he had asked for prayers for, i believe it was a little girl who was very, very ill, and he sa

here is what is going on there today from "the washington post" david fa david. they handcuffed a security guard in the midst of a dispute the hotel's majority owner tried to fire the trump organization and trump employees are refusing to leave. quote, there were physical altercations between rival groups of security guards. a visit by police officers and a triumph piano performance. the conflict took place in a room that contains servers that control the bill's fire alarms, fiberoptic communications. they posted guards at the room and bard everyone else from entering for days. at one point staff who work for the owner cut the power to that room. this video obtained by "the washington post" shows what happened this morning when several of the owner's staffers were finally able to enter that room. a chaotic room of shoving and shouting ensued as trump guards tried to evict them. quote, someone grab me by the neck and wrestled me down. at least five panamanian police officers arrived at the hotel and broke up the fight between the rival groups. i think the technica

the good news is i've seen washington work. i've seen democrats and republicans work together in order to solve problems in our country. the problem today is that washington is largely dysfunctional and republicans and democrats simply are unable to work together to work together to resolve the tremendous issues that face this country. i'm worried about this to function because it goes to the heart of our democracy. i think if ultimately they don't get together and govern this country that it will ultimately weaken the united states by virtue of that. >> chris: you said recently for the president to release the house republican memo over the objections of the fbi and the department of justice would create "a constitutional crisis." is that a bit of an overstatement? >> secretary panetta: i'm a believer in the rule of law in this country and i'm a believer in the importance of our constitution and the relationship between the president and our law enforcement authorities. i think in order for our democracy to function you have t

iam not i am not so sure washington will be opposed to the notion of a meeting, but i think washington will be quite sensitive to the conditions under which that meeting takes place. there are lots of contradictions and complexities here. i think the president has a difficult road ahead, primarily because there is an expectation in washington that if a summit were to take place, that front and centre would be the nuclear issue, and that, of course, is something that is strongly opposed by north korea, which has thus far refused to discuss the issue with south korea. the first point of orderfor issue with south korea. the first point of order for president moon will be how to deal with this issue. 0therwise will be how to deal with this issue. otherwise they will fall away from the summit. would it be wise to not be overoptimistic about the shaking of hands? should we not get optimistic. we have been down this road before. there have been developments over the years expectations are low. developments over the years expectations are lowlj developments over the years expectations are low.

and washington, d.c., called the epa. the president, on five or 28, early in his time -- february 28, early in his time, in the roosevelt room, he signed an executive order instructing me, scott, go fix that. go take care of this waters issue. that is what we are doing. no longer a puddle, a dry creek bread -- bed, will be called a water of the united states.

how broken is washington? >> chris, during my years of public life i have had the honor of seeing washington at its best and i've also seen washington at its worst.the good news is i have seen washington work. i've seen democrats and republicans work together to solve problems in our country. the problem today is that washington is largely dysfunctional. republicans and democrats simply are unable to be able to work together. to resolve the tremendous issues that face this country. i am worried about that dysfunction because it goes to the heart of our democracy. i think ultimately, if they don't get together and govern this country, that it will ultimately weaken the united states by virtue of that. >>chris: you said recently for the president to release the house republican memo over the objections of the fbi and the department of justice, it would create quote, a constitutional crisis. is that bit of an overstatement? >> well, i am a believer in the rule of law in this country. i am a believer in the import

much resistance it's getting from washington will be able to finally take a step to emerge as a truly sovereign entity and able to carry out with in korean politics and on the korean peninsula its own policy. it's a shame you certainly don't see north korea looking over its shoulder to see whether russia or china approves of its moves but here you have south korea with tens of thousands of american troops still in south korea and they they arrived in september one thousand nine hundred five they're still there. north korea doesn't have foreign troops on its soil so that is the big test will south korea be able to resist the pressure from washington it's the republicans it's the democrats it's the military industrial complex it's the cia none of that none of those institutional power centers in washington want there to be a real raw approach mind taking place in korea by koreans without the supervision of the americans gregory would weigh in on that because you know what what leeway does south korea have to make any kind of reproach with the north if there is a mutual engagement in any

does meet under the auspices of washington. what could come out of this do you think that a success would just be that there is a meeting or there have to be concrete agreements made at such a. term used by before. there are a lot of faces to be saved and in order to broker any kind of fish deal between these countries these faces have to be considered and here i'm talking about saudi arabia who needs not to get out of this crisis as a lose it it's very important for the vision of the new administration in the new. head apparent and the king in saudi arabia to appear victorious out of this crisis and this of course will not work for that but these who need to establish their sovereignty you need to establish their strength and their positioning in this and this region and cannot abide by any perception that they come out of this issue as losers or that they kind of gave in to the demands of the of the countries the united states also wants to come out and trumps administration especially wants to come out as a problem solver. a
